Music for Winter Storms

There are a few essential elements when facing the elements - in this case a snowstorm that is obliterating Montreal. My defenses against winter today include: a parka, headphones, and the music of Arvo Part.

There is enough stillness in Part's compositions that you can hear the snow crunching beneath your feet, and yet the consonant melodies of Alina seem to add overtones to that strange melancholy that winter can produce.

A completely enriching experience, albeit a little cold.
